Again, the playable hero is Sam Fisher, a shadowy secret agent working for an outfit called the Third Echelon, and the game picks up on the stealth and sabotage of its predecessor. The title refers to a codename for a plot by a rogue corporation known as Argus to wipe out the free world with biological weapons in vintage Tom Clancy style.
